A Couple Gifts and Prizes to Share

Morning!!! We sure had a snowy weekend! 7 inches fell on Saturday and now tonight we are suppose to get up to 5 more and I just heard up to 6 more on Wednesday. This Alberta Clipper isn't only bring snow but frigid temps! Friday morning it is suppose to be around -5 with a high of only 5-7. Yikes! Well the snow is good because my daughter and her boyfried decided to try a new hobby...snowshoeing. So, they ordered snowshoes from REI and are hoping the snow stays until the 22nd of January when they can pick up those snowshoes. I have always wanted to try snowshoeing...maybe a good Christmas gift for me and hubby this coming Christmas.

During the craziness of December I did a Christmas swap and won a blog giveaway. I want to share some pics with you today. (They didn't load in the order I thought but it will have to do today).

First the Christmas swap...I swapped with Angie from Sandals and Daisies. Angie is such a sweet friend. I am so sorry I couldn't get more pics...I was in such a hurry with everything going on!

I love elves!!! This cute little elf she made for me! Thank you Angie!!! I'm sorry for the blurry pic, I really do need a new camera!

I hope you all keep warm and have a wonderful day! I am trying my bestest to work on some winter and Valentine's to share with you all! My upstairs is in desperate need of cleaning! If anyone had a medical emergency upstairs, I'd have to drag them by their feet downstairs so the emergency crew didn't have to see the mess! (Bad I know and of course I am joking...a little!)

Hi Kim! I'm chilled just thinking of those temps!brrr Hope you are staying warm. I am laughing because one day our alarm company called and said there was a signal at our house and my first thought was don't send the cops in before I get there to close my daughter's bathroom and bedroom door!!! I can relate to what you said! I wasn't worried about anything else!lol Thank you my daughter was ok on the roads the other night and I hope your hubby was too! Love that elf with your initial; so cute. The earrings inspired me to get my beading stuff out! I'm supposed to be doing laundry right now so off I go! Have a warm evening; sounds like a good night for hot choc and a book!!! Take care, Jeannette

I am glad you enjoyed everything..it was sure fun to make things for you! Did you ever get my email I sent last week? A few others said they never got one and I had to resend...I may have to spank my email for being naughty..heehee! We are expecting more snow tonight..so I am preparing myself for the kids hangin around the house again. I hope all is well with you...I have so missed talkin to ya!

Very cute swap items... especially love prize won those earrings! Hope it stays cold for the snowshoeing, it's 81 degrees here and I'm having a little Spring fever. So understand about the upstairs situation, it's like that in my office... keep repeating, a work in progress ;)~Tracie

Hi again Kim! Sounds like you are keeping busy!!! Are you knitting that scarf??? I just made one from a pattern in Martha Stewart Living and it was so easy and really cute! You and Jan are making me cold with your freezing temps!!lol Glad you are staying warm and look forward to your latest projects! My washing machine is walking across the floor so gotta go...lol Til later, Jeannette

Hi Kim!! What a sweet elf and snowman! I have a prize and some awards I hope to post about soon..like you, they happened when it was a crazy Christmasy time!

Whoa--you guys will have snow to your rooftops before long! We've got very cold temps (not as cold as yours!)--it was 4 this a.m. and will be colder in the next few days. I really, really hate the cold! I guess it just makes the Spring warmth seem so much better when it gets here!

I loved your list of things done on your previous post. My life is purdy boring when I see what I HAVEN'T done on that list--it was fun to see what YOU have experienced!

You are so sweet! I am so glad you liked the snowman and the earrings!! It sounds like you are getting the same weather we are!! Not fun at all! The snow is pretty but I am over this cold- and it hasn't even reached the lowest yet. My poor husband has to work out in it! Oh April! April, where are you??? LOL!!Heather:)
